In response to the current refugee crisis and to provide ongoing support for other humanitarian issues, Vancity has developed a new endowment fund with the Vancity Community Foundation and will match all employee and member donations up to $125,000.

In addition to matching donations through their humanitarian fund, Vancity has taken further action to respond by sending a letter to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (from Tamara and board chair, Jan O'Brien) calling for immediate action to accept 100,000 refugees.
